Evildoers do not understand what is right, but those who seek the
LORD understand it fully.

… but, once again, those of us in between just muddle along.

front page
(as I type), which they claim is
one of sixteen used to
illustrate—and I am not making this up—"Women in Hollywood Fighting
the Pay Gap". So there's no possible way I can be accused of sexist
objectification here, right? Right?

Two professors, one from INSEAD and one from New York University, put together Her Opponent, a re-enactment of the Trump-Clinton debates with the genders reversed—the Donald Trump role was played by Rachel Whorton and the Hillary Clinton role by Daryl Embry.

The results will shock you! No, honestly, they might. The
researchers went into this re-enactment "assuming that the gender inversion would confirm what they'd each suspected watching the real-life debates: that Trump's aggression—his tendency to interrupt and attack—would never be tolerated in a woman, and that Clinton's competence and preparedness would seem even more convincing coming from a man."
But they had to admit—and good for them that they were able to
admit—that the results didn't demonstrate the sexism they were
looking for.

Trump is destroying his presidency one tweet at a time. On Friday
morning, Trump reportedly chewed out his senior staff for letting
allegations of his campaign’s collusion with Russia distract from
his post-speech agenda. By dawn the next morning, his tweets had
made the Russia allegations a much bigger story and led to Spicer
asking Congress to investigate whether his boss was onto something.

As mentioned yesterday, Trump's best move at this point would be to
delegate a Secret Service agent whose sole job would be to wrest the
phone from his hand when he goes on Twitter.
